We first
established in January 2013 the need to resolve the problem of the
international monetary system, and its absolute priority. [1]

We then proposed in May 2013 a strategy to effectively prepare
the necessary resilience to support the change in the international monetary
system. [2] The various official announcements over the past months have
largely confirmed that this anticipation was shared. [3]

The synthesis of this strategy was again stressed by Laurence
Brahm on 21/10/2013:

" It is
not the complete removal of the old Bretton Woods financial architecture but
rather the creation of a new parallel structure to the old. Eventually,
countries will be able to choose which architecture is better suited to their
own plans for reconstruction and renovation. " [4]

This week of March 2014 where I release this article sees an
important step in international relations. It is nothing less than discussing
the 2015 framework and choosing between the repetition of the Vienna Conference
in 1815 (the Concert of Nations) or Yalta Conference in 1945 (the Cold War) that
will support the “new rules of the game in international politics“.
[5]

In fact, this week in Europe a large number of high level bilateral
meetings take place:

·President Xi with the
Prime Minister of the Netherlands, François Hollande, Angela Merkel then with
the European Commission president [6]

·President Obama with
President Xi, and then he has extended his trip at the last minute to meet the
Heads of State of the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, UAE, South Korea, Japan, then
a meeting with the Pope in Rome and a meeting with the King of Saudi Arabia.
[7] Not to mention a planned meeting with Mr Barroso and Van Rompuy [8]

·The G7 meeting on the
sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in 2014

·And other bilateral
meetings, more or less official and prepared, among other heads of state following
their presence at the Nuclear Security Summit 2014.

Officially the goal is mostly to talk about the crisis in
Ukraine and Crimea, or to sign some contracts. The public communiques will
mention them.

We believe that other issues,
much more important but related, will be discussed : those around the current
reorganization of the new international monetary and financial system. [8.1]

Marketable U.S. Treasuries held by the Fed in custody for
Foreign Official and International Accounts; till 3/26/2014;

Our analysis is that the Ukrainian crisis was triggered by the
U.S. deep state in preparation for the introduction of this next reorganization.
[9] This is to retain the EU in the area of U.S. domination. [9.1]

The time has come to clarify what we mean by new international
monetary and financial system.

We believe this is not only about launching what is already
announced:

·A Development Bank for
BRICS parallel to the World Bank

·A BRICS stabilization fund
parallel to the IMF

·New bilateral trade
agreements parallel to the WTO

but to go much further.

Firstly, BRICS Development Bank is becoming a "Bank
initiated by BRICS for the development of all interested parties" and
whose governance is open to any state wishing to join
with the framework agreement. [9.2]

Secondly, and this is the most innovative part: it is to create
another institution parallel to the Bank for International Settlements
(BIS).

This is the oldest international financial institution fully
governed by the West (6 permanent members and founders are the central banks of
Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, UK and USA, which can have a double voting
weight - analogy with Obama's meetings this week is not a coincidence
[10])

BIS is the central bank of central banks, that is to say, it
organizes and manage trade between them ... especially those concerning
physical gold. Activities related to financial regulation (the famous
Basel Committee rules) were added much later, after the existence of the bank
became public when it was kept secret since its inception. [10.7]

The first problem to solve for the overhaul of the international
monetary and financial system is not really the choice of a new currency. This
is only a means. This is primarily to ensure price stability and the
development of international trade. Otherwise, the only alternative is
endless war for resources that are increasingly scarce. It is therefore
necessary to separate the problem of a reference currency for international
trade, from that of a reserve currency for central banks.

Global geopolitical dislocation following the 2008 crisis has
cut the Gordian knot: there is no need any more to make a decision for all
countries (which has blocked reform for many years [10.6]). Now BRICS
countries have the initiative and willingness to move forward. This will
is the key factor as we wrote: [10.9]

The global
geopolitical context is characterized primarily by a tilt after reaching the tipping
point: the decline of the American empire on the one hand and the rise of the
multipolar initiative led by BRICS on the other. Because they are so
desperately lacking in autonomy of decision and willingness, the EU and Japan
find themselves buffeted by this tidal wave of history.

The choice is made for several years, international trade will
be based on gold [10.3].

How will this happen in practice? Not with boats or trucks
loaded with bullions, of course. As we said a "second BIS" was
designed that can manage a clearing house for payments (settlements)
in physical gold, especially to add to it a fundamental function to allow
again international settlements for goods using "Real Bills" (a.k.a. Gold
Bills), as recommended by the New
Austrian School of Economics. In his work Professor Fekete described these
Gold Bills as being “destined to be settled
in gold coins that are made available after
the ultimate consumer surrenders them in exchange for finished consumer
goods upon maturity”. [10.4] Their issue is strictly limited by the orders
received to buy goods. They allow increasing the money velocity without
systematically using coins and without any risk of inflation. [10.1]

This is far from a simple "100% gold" standard.

Gold is the only money (gold - silver ratio must float) as
everyone knew for millennia. Today most people have more or less forgotten
this unique role, but not Western central bankers who have tried for a century
to put lipstick on a pig, so to speak. [10.8] By deceiving us, they deceived
themselves and began to believe their own nonsense. A historical failure
and on a global scale. Alas, alas, it is a failure of the European
spirit. We need to recognize it in order to find the impetus beneath our
feet allowing us to arise from the depth of this graveyard by the sea.
[10.2]

BRICS countries do not necessarily need the West to initiate
this new settlement system. [10.5] It must be noted in this respect what it can supersede.
The dollar currency and U.S. Treasury at the foundation of famous
"petrodollars" are replaced by the Gold Bills that will allow buying
oil for example. [11] It is the function of reference currency for international
trade.

But US Treasuries have a function of income related to their mid/long
term interest rate too - it is also a fatal flaw in this system. This is
the second problem: the choice of the reserve currency for central banks.

The new system offers very smartly to decouple these two
functions. The income function can be brought (at appropriate time) by
introducing gold bonds, that is to say bonds denominated in gold weight,
with interests denominated in gold weight and whose principal is redeemable in
gold weight (ie not merely an obligation backed by a collateral gold and
denominated in fiat currency – a.k.a. gold backed bonds). Again,
we must have an institution for the issuance of these bonds.

Note that to start, it
is not necessary to replace any national currency by gold coins. The gold
bills will circulate in parallel of currencies, and user confidence in these
currencies will be reflected in real time in the local price of that currency
measured in mg of gold (that is to say, the inverse of the ‘price of gold’
measured in the currency, which is the usual vision that we have - a totally
wrong perception because you can not measure the length of a bar with a rubber-band:
you must take the opposite approach). Hence the fundamental importance of
not having rigged gold markets as currently in New York and London. [12]

The U.S. have no way to prevent BRICS countries to launch this
parallel system, a competitor of the one based on U.S. Treasury bond, and which finally obliterate their
attraction.

The only remaining choice as new rules for American decision-makers
(that is to say, the public state and the deep state) are the following, as they
are standing with their back to the wall [12.2]:

·either to accept an open
cohabitation of two parallel
systems, with 100% of the players who know that the dollar system can not be
competitive (very quickly one system will endure and all U.S. Treasury assets going
up in smoke). Modestly this is called "asset restructuring in U.S.
bonds market." This is the path of Vienna in 1815. [12.1]

·or not to accept this
open cohabitation, that is to say close the door to hide behind and build a
wall as high as possible so that no one can escape from the dollar
zone. For this area can last as long as possible (while being doomed
because of deflation), it must be the largest possible, and the EU is a
tempting (with its remaining gold reserves) and very easy prey thanks to
Atlantist governments and European Commission who are obediently following the
interests of the American deep state. The strategy is therefore to make
them sign the TTIP as soon as possible, which quickly convince them not
repatriate their gold and abandon the euro (two currencies for the US-EU area only,
is one too many) as they have already abandoned their sovereignty. This is
the way of Yalta in 1945. [12.3]

The next time you meet
your President or Prime Minister, you now know which good question to ask him:
what did he choose for us and that is supposed to commit all?
BRICS countries are reaching out to European peoples since 2009, and our
governments show their disdain so far, preferring the shadows of the world
before. [13] But it is not too late to think about our place in Europe and in
the world, it remains few short months and the ticket can be taken since this
week. Hurry up or repent.

What is currently
discussed off-line is however everybody's concern, and will commit us for a
long time to come. Do not suffer without understanding.

[11] It should be noted in this respect that the BRICS countries have learn from the experience of purchases by India of Iranian oil using gold, through Turkish banks. This is a case of an unjust embargo imposed by the West proved to be a weakness that would lead to huge consequences. History is fond of this kind of irony.
